PSU and Ram not finalized,  I may possibly go with something else.

as long as you know that ah only uses 1 core with amd versus 2 for intel.

I understand that, but I don't play AH hardly anymore,  I am building to last quite a few years down the road.

[guncrasher]

then seriously, unless you are planing to play other games, you are spending way too much money.  what exactly you going to be using the puter for?  because you can get rid of some components and buy them down the line if you need them.

A quick Google of reviews of the ABS Majesty power supply finds phrases like "awful", "overpriced", and the memorable "we have seen none that were nearly as bad as this unit."

Based on comments in this forum by Skuzzy, when I built my machine last year I went with a SeaSonic "X750 Gold" (model SS-750KM), and it's been rock-solid.
